"EU Urges Urgent Reform of UN System, Calls for People-Centric Approach to Ukraine"

Kyiv is expected to overcome the final hurdles for entering negotiations for EU membership in December, with the EU assessment set to happen in October. Ukraine has made progress in areas such as judicial governance and media legislation, but still needs to work on anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, de-oligarchization, and national minorities law. The fight against corruption is a priority, and Ukraine has taken high-profile actions and followed EU recommendations. The Verkhovna Rada will consider key laws essential for EU negotiations in its next session. Despite setbacks, the outlook is generally positive, and Ukraine aims to adopt all necessary legislative and institutional changes by October.
